Hey there great people. My name is Calvin. I'm a cybersecurity specialist doing risk and compliance work for a federal agency here in the DC area. Mostly NIST/RMF frameworks and security control assessments.
My pull towards EA stemmed from Damon Cassidy's YouTube videos. He put 80,000 Hours & EA onto my radar. I'm originally from the United States Virgin Islands, after college I worked at a local non profit serving underprivileged youth in DC. I was furloughed from that job and decided to make a professional shift into Cybersecurity. I've always wanted to make sure the work I do actually adds up to something beyond a paycheck. I've been eying AI governance and policy work lately, partly because that is where my job skills seem most transferable to something bigger.
I'm still figuring out where I actually land as it pertains to prioritization. I'm here to read and ask questions and figure out what sticks and makes sense. I also started a motorcycle youtube page (CalN9Na) if anyone needs a quick break.
